Hama Maxi - Huge Restock

We're not quite sure why we're suddenly selling so much Maxi Hama. (Not that we ever complain about these things, of course!) We've always loved the stuff and almost overnight the world seems to have cottoned on to what's so good about it.

Maxi Hama is a bead design system, much like the Hama Midi Beads for older children. It's superb for developing hand eye co-ordination and the best thing about it, is that it allows children as young as three to create a work of art that looks really good. Bus Stop's eldest daughter is a huge fan and has her designs all over her room.

Anyway, we couldn't ignore this recent trend in sales, and we're proud to unveil our largest ever range of Maxi Hama Beads. Check them out. They're an ideal gift for any child of 3 or 4 years old.

You can now get your hands on the morphotronic monsters, as well as Turbo Warrior and the awe inspiring Black Rose Dragon. These cards will be making their way into top level decks, so grab some packs quick - stocks everywhere are already running low!

We now have a (very) limited stock in store and on our website. For once we'll admit that we cant match the price of some of the major retailers (we're sorry!), but in the (highly likely) event they wind up with none left, you know we can help you out.

Check our Bakugan toys out here.

Big Boardgame Expansion

Bus Stop's getting into the festive spirit all of a sudden. When we opened the boxes of boardgames the other day, we felt like it was Christmas already and time to sit down with the family and argue about the Free Parking rule in Monopoly.
